Does anyone else grow Mt. St. Helens Cemetery Tea?
Comments (24)Thanks Windeaux, so it is. I had done a search on Vintage and came up with nothing, but just now found it by going down the list. It's listed under "Hybrid Teas - Custom Root". Thank you also for linking the thread on the discussion of "St. Helena Cemetery Very Double HT". I was going to say that it answers my original question, that is IF "Arcadia Louisiana Tea" is the same rose. Evidently Vintage doesn't think they are the same as he still lists both roses separately. Also describes their bush sizes as different. However, "Arcadia Louisiana Tea" is certainly close to the rose I have, especially if you allow for differences in climate. Plus roses can 'morph', so to speak. For instance, the Prairie Sunrise I got from Sam Kedem years ago has many more petals and tends to quarter where the specimen from Chamblees does not. All in all I'm very glad to get this much information. Thank you all so much!

Comments (72)I can echo the beauty and fragrance of Red Eden. It doesn't just bloom like crazy, it's that its blooms last for WEEKS. No kidding, weeks. Mine in PDX was completely disease free as well (even growing next to disease-ridden Dolly Parton rose). I do not think of this as a climber anymore--the canes are so thick and brittle it is really a large shrub. I moved mine off an obelisk after snapping several. BOLERO would likely be the rose I'd keep if I only had to keep one. It is so well-behaved, blooms non-stop (literally--always had a bloom on it, even in year one), it is wonderfully fragrant, has beautiful foliage...I bought three more just to be surrounded by it. What a stellar performer this....See MoreAnyone get your roses from Garden Roses yet?
Comments (718)@judijunebugarizonazn8 I feel that I've informed people enough about how to get money back from this particular issue and I hope that in the future that this level of money won't be absconded with so easily in the rose industry. I frequent small business, family owned operations, and the like in the United Kingdom. My particular interest in roses was founded on David Austin and will continue. I have no problem with supporting people starting out in business, what I can't absolve is people not being forthright with the customer base. I hope they get it together for the sake of the 3 children. (I have sympathy for any child in this situation). Outside that I have no sympathy for the adults who haven't owned the mess they made from the start of the problem and pretending everything was fine. Had they made just one different decision they would be in a much better position and that I hope they've at least learned from. Time will tell I suppose....See MoreGrowing old roses in cold winter climates
Comments (26)Berry and Friends, I have had winters where I cut a few roses way back to the ground removing black canes, too. Looking way to the ground to see if any green canes I wouod keep. amy secret temedy to this is ”cut them back to reveal sny green canes andvtyen pour luquid fish fertiluzer on them weekly until they grow at least 1-2 ft or more. Alaska Fish fertilzer gas been the best for me and tye inly remedy that finally boosted their growth. (It is hard on roses to be cut back more than 1/2 way or dien to the roots, but you will see amazing fast growth if you weekly use this fertilizer!) I have Alaska Fish Fertilizer & Alaska Morbloom Fish fertilizer, which I mix, and use on all roses, esp. those that need extra help! Together they work miraculously well! @Jena Ithaca, NY 6a/6b Hi, Jena, I live in Geneva!!!! Just over on Seneca Lake from you!!! Woohoo! Maybe will can visit in the future!
